Heading out the door to the movies. Won't be back till less than an hour before the game. I really don't know why but a couple of you guys will be interested in how i'm playing it. I'm not a really good cappers like some others in here are. I'm just an old guy who's been betting since I was about 16 with a local. Without telling my ago that's pretty close to 35 years of paying my man. Gonna have a small party for the game. Couple of my friends, few of the wife gf's and whoever else knocks on the door before 8pm est. Bought my wife a shirt today that say's ..."Beat Pittsburgh...again" She's got it on already. Everyone in the house will be cheering like mad when the Wings step onto the ice. As will ai. ai remember last year ai looked out my front door and neighbors porch lights were flickering on and off minutes after the horn sounded. This town NEEDS this game for something to feel good about. The economy is really bad here in the Motor City.
I see so many "for sale" signs it's unbelievable. So while my whole house will be rockin and cheering for the Wings. I will as well. And I won't tell anyone n the house until it's over but.......I'm playing the Pens. Right now their +177 at Matchbook.com. I expect about a half hour before they drop the puck it will go up even higher. Then the Wing money should come in a little.
For the past 3 days all I've read about is the stats and the history and the probability of the Wings winning again. something in my gut tells me that that kid Crosby won't disappoint a 2nd year in a row. I always like to try and determine before betting on a game.......who wants this game more? The Wings will want it to show their a dynasty. And for Hossa. And for the city of Detroit. But Detroit just won last season. 9-0% of their players have a ring. And drank from the cup. 18 skaters and 2 goalies on Pittsburgh didn't experience that at the end of last season. They watched the Wings skate around their building passing around that cup. The felt terrible. They let their crowd down. Marian Hossa really wants to win a Cup. He took a pay cut to come here and win a ring. 18 skaters and 2 goalies REALLY want a cup for Pittsburgh. Badly. Crosby want's to show he not only got them BACK in this position this year. He wants Bettman to pass him that big silver thing after 3 periods tonight. So do the Pens. And they wan't it MORE than Detroit in all their guts. So I figure I really can't lose in this situation. If the Wings win, this town goes nuts for another summer. If they lose....I'll have another $177.00 in my account. Good luck guys...I'm out the door.

I'll be back for the in-game. Someone get it ready.

C'mon Bush, who you trying to kid?
You got all your loot riding on the Wings tonight.
If Pissburgh win, it's quite simple---you lose your coin and your sanity!

This isn't a knock on you bush by any means but I just don't get how some of these wings and pens fans who have been riding thier team ALL season long are putting $ on the opponet game 7 of the cup finals?

It's game 7 of the finals......ride your team till the wheels fall off.

Wow that really surprised me.

I'll be watching on the side lines again tonight, but If i were to play it would have been with the wings. I just can't see how the pens find a way to win.

Good luck mate, hope you cash today

In2win.....because i'm betting with my head tonight instead of my heart. I got an extra hundred to spare that I can do this and not hurt me. I haven't given up on my team by any means. I'll be screaming at every questioning call and hoping like hell that Kronwall sends one of the Pens into next week with a Havlat type hit.

Yea, I'll feel pretty silly if the Wings steam roll the Pens tonight. But I'll still get up and go to work tomorrow. Sorry if I let some of you Wing backers down. I just have a gut feeling worth risking a hundred on.

Good that you are not betting with your heart but betting with your gut is not much better...
I doubt it very much the Pens want to win tonight anymore than the Wings do...

C'mon it's game 7 of the Stanley cup, whether you have won it once or 10 times when you are there you do not think that way... sorry to disagree with you

Pens may win tonight but the odds are stacked very heavily against that...

I'm on Detroit for series so may hedge with Pens but not leaning that way now...

i've only been reading your posts since the playoffs started, but it's nice to see someone who loves a team give an honest and objective view on the games - even if it means picking against the home team.

i think the bookies clean up tonight. 4-2 pens.

At the game, quasi-GaryBusey lookalike 5TEAMPARLAY heads out for another beer (bonus glimpse of Billsy grinning over the top of Fishhead's head with the Expo cap)

I asked her. Said she wasn't taking any pic's today before she curls her hair. She promised one tomorrow. I'll try and snap one later when she's not paying attention.

ain't that like a woman....somehow thinks getting on the RxHockeyForum is going to be hyperlinked around the worldwide web within hours

Show her the SheBar and Billsfan representing...tell her that the longer she delays, the more we figure she's got a lazy eye or something....
